Good Participatory Practice: Guidelines for TB Drug Trials

The Good Participatory Practice (GPP) guidelines for TB Drug Trials is the product of a collaboration between AVAC and the Stakeholder and Community Engagement Workgroup of the Critical Path to TB Drug Regimens. The guidelines offer trial funders, sponsors, and implementers systematic guidance on how to engage stakeholders throughout the research lifecycle. This first edition, published in 2012, contains five sections that provide context, foundational principles, and key practices for conducting TB drug trials.  

GPP Overview PowerPoint

The GPP Overview PowerPoint contains 35 slides that users can draw from when introducing the Good Participatory Practice guidelines.  The PowerPoint contains slides on the history and content of the guidelines, who the intended user is,  the role and importance of GPP in the field and strategies for effective use. The slide deck is broken into sections allowing slides can be rearranged or deleted to make a complete presentation.  

Stakeholder Engagement Toolkit for HIV Prevention Trials

The Stakeholder Engagement Toolkit for HIV Prevention Trials, developed by FHI360, is a guide to engaging a wide range of key stakeholders throughout the trial lifecycle. The toolkit is based on best practices and experience of clinical trial experts and community-based advocates. It includes short case studies, tools to guide and chart progress during a trial, stakeholder identification tools and other useful documents to document work tasks and define successful engagement in terms of the local context.
